RAGBRAI route in Libertyville

IMAGE COURTESY OF BEV NELSON The map shows the routes RAGBRAI riders will take when they enter Libertyville on Thursday, July 25, before making an overnight stop in Fairfield. They will enter town on Douds Road (having passed through Douds earlier that day), turn east on Maple Avenue, north on Jefferson Street, west on Broadway Street, north on Main Street and then leave town on Fairfield Road. Those streets will be blocked off from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. People coming into town from the north on Hemlock Avenue may park at the Libertyville Fire Station near the grain bins. From the west motorists may come in on West Maple Avenue and park along the street. From the east they can come in on East Maple Avenue to Washington Street and from there to Stump Park, where most of the food and festivities will be such as live music and games. There will be no access to Libertyville from the south since the riders will be using the Douds Road. The Fairfield Road is also closed that day, and open only to those who live along the route.
